Description
"A modern-day Flaubert takes us on a comic tour through a deeply neurotic Mexico City by way of the life of a successful lawyer struck with a rare cancer of the tongue" --,Provided by publisher.
Description
Ram�on Martinez is a militant atheist, successful lawyer, and conventional family man. But all of that changes when cancer of the tongue deprives him of the source of his power and livelihood: speech. Mateo and Paulina, his teenage children, struggle with the temptations of masturbation and binge eating, respectively. Ram�on's melancholic oncologist is haunted by the memory of a young patient whom he was unable to save. His selfish pathologist believes Ram�on's tumor holds the key to a major scientific breakthrough. And then there's Elodia, Ram�on's pious maid, who brings him a foulmouthed parrot as a birthday gift. This lewd bird becomes Ram�on's companion, confidant, and unlikely double. -- adapted from Amazon.
